we know that

An exponential function is a function where the input, x, appears in the exponent.

the equation of an exponential function usually looks like:

$y=ab^{x}$

where

a is a number called the initial value

b is a number called the growth factor

In this problem

we have

$f(x) =\frac{1}{5}(15^{x})$

where

$\frac{1}{5}$ -------> is the initial value

$15$ ------> is the growth factor

therefore

the answer is the option

$D. 15$

Create two different real-world scenarios—one in which you would use permutations and one in which you would use combinations: I

LenKa [72]

Permutation: In a race of 10 students, find the number of ways students can finish 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. In this case the order matters, so it is a permutation.
10 x 9 x 8 = 720 ways

Combination: In a class of 10 students, find the number of ways a group of 3 students can be selected to win a prize. In this case the order doesn't matter, so it's a combination.
10 x 9 x 8 / (3 x 2 x 1) = 120 ways

What is the area of a circle is the radius is 8

Shalnov [3]

When the radius is 8, the area would be 201.06

Area of circle = pi x radius² (pi x 8²)

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

Papessa [141]

the particle's initial position is at t=0, x = 0 - 0 + 4 = 4m

velocity is rate of change of displacement = dx/dt = d(t^3 - 9t^2 +4)/dt
= 3t^2 - 18t

acceleration is rate of change of velocity = d(3t^2 -18t)/dt
= 6t - 18

the particle is stationary when velocity = 0, so 3t^2 - 18t =0
3t*(t - 6) = 0
t = 0 or t = 6s

acceleration = 6t - 18 = 0
t = 3s
at t = 3s, velocity = 3(3^2) -18*3 = -27m/s
displacement = 3^3 - 9*3^2 +4 = -50m

What is the following product? (4x square root 5x^2 + 2^2 square root 6)^2

tangare [24]

The product is $104 x^{4}+16 \sqrt{30} x^{4}$

Explanation:

The given expression is $\left(4 x \sqrt{5 x^{2}}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^{2}$

We need to determine the product of the given expression.

First, we shall simplify the given expression.

Thus, we have,

$\left(4 x \sqrt{5 x^{2}}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^{2}=\left(4 x \sqrt{5} x+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^2$

$\left(4 x \sqrt{5 x^{2}}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^{2}=\left(4 x^{2} \sqrt{5}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^2$

Expanding the expression, we have,

$\left(4 x \sqrt{5 x^{2}}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^{2}=\left(4 x^{2} \sqrt{5}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)\left(4 x^{2} \sqrt{5}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)$

Now, we shall apply FOIL, we get,

$\left(4 x \sqrt{5 x^{2}}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^{2}=\left(4 x^{2} \sqrt{5}\right)^{2}+2 ( 2 x^{2} \sqrt{6})(4 x^{2} \sqrt{5})+\left(2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^{2}$

Simplifying the terms, we have,

$\left(4 x \sqrt{5 x^{2}}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^{2}=16 \cdot 5 x^{4}+16 \sqrt{30} x^{4}+4 \cdot 6 x^{4}$

Multiplying, we get,

$\left(4 x \sqrt{5 x^{2}}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^{2}=80 x^{4}+16 \sqrt{30} x^{4}+24 x^{4}$

Adding the like terms, we get,

$\left(4 x \sqrt{5 x^{2}}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^{2}=104 x^{4}+16 \sqrt{30} x^{4}$

Thus, the product of the given expression is $104 x^{4}+16 \sqrt{30} x^{4}$
